An extensive numerical and analytical investigation of the beam dynamics in a rebatron accelerator was carried out. Acceleration occurs by a localized, high gradient electric field, and beam confinement is achieved by a strong-focusing torsatron magnetic field. In a rebatron, beam acceleration occurs in a few microseconds and limitations imposed by instabilities, field errors, and radiation losses can be relaxed. The studies indicate that both the bandwidth and the maximum electron-beam current than can be confined by these devices is remarkably high.
